The Forest
Festo makes contribution to global sustainability in many places and visualizes this in the "Blue World". We want to express how automation technology can balance the supply of the world's population on the one hand and the protection of our natural resources and climate-neutral production on the other.The “Blue World” illustrates how we are striving to transform industrial production into an efficient and more climate-friendly way of manufacturing. The “Blue path” to sustainable automation sees us, our partners and customers as protagonists and we support through digital tools, energy-efficient solutions and services that save energy.Festo will significantly reduce its CO₂ footprint in the coming years. As a result, all our production and logistics locations as well as the German sales locations and the company headquarters in Esslingen will be CO₂-neutral by the beginning of 2023.To reach this goal, the company invests in its own regenerative energy production and saving measures. Festo will switch to CO₂-neutral energy worldwide and compensate for emissions that cannot yet be avoided for a transitional period - hence the “Blue Forest”.
Impact
The trees we plant have big ambitions: to bring benefits not only to the environment, but also to the people who live in it. That's why we work with NGOs and local communities to select the right tree for the right place and the right purpose. That’s why we think about the medium and long term, because we’re not content with simply planting trees: we want to see them grow.
The trees in the forest will absorb:
20.40 t* of CO₂
